Or you can paste some txt from somewhere else, hilight it with the right mouse button and then left click on the "quote" button like thus;

GO into User control panel and go into Board settings, check settings and make sure BBCode is set to yes.


Edit posting defaults

Edit display options

Enable BBCode by default: Yes

If, as you say, clicking the Quote button (the one between "u" and "Code") doesn't insert [quote] tags in your post then it's likely to be a browser issue. Maybe you don't have JavaScript enabled properly? You can always do it manually by typing this in your post:

Code: Select all

[quote]Quoted text[/quote] or [quote="Mark"]Quoted text[/quote]


As already said, if you just click the Quote button to the top-right of someones post then it will automatically quote their post in your reply.
